The Berzin Archives/Study Buddhism is an endless treasure trove of high quality, completely relatable information about every aspect of Buddhism. Each topic (and there are many) is explained, explored in depth, and presented with examples and methods to incorporate the knowledge into daily practice. Buddhism is both simple and direct, and vast and complicated. Whether you are a Buddhist or not, Dr. Berzin's translation of Buddhist philosophy and the Buddha's methods is lively, accessible, and addictive. Study Buddhism is absolutely worth checking out.
Dr Berzin, I simply have no words to thank you for your work! For the work of your team! God bless you 💗
Thank you for the VDO, this helps to Understand what Buddhism is in general.
Buddhism for beginners. A finger pointing at the moon is not the moon.
Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.
…Dighanakha asked the Buddha, “Gautama, what is your teaching? What are your doctrines? --For my own part, I dislike all doctrines and theories. I don’t subscribe to any at all.” The Buddha smiled and asked, “Do you subscribe to your doctrine of not following any doctrines? Do you believe in your doctrine of not-believing?” --Somewhat taken aback, Dighanakha replied, “Gautama, whether I believe or don’t believe is of no importance.” The Buddha spoke gently, “Once a person is caught by belief in a doctrine, he loses all his freedom. When one becomes dogmatic, he believes his doctrine is the only truth and that all other doctrines are heresy. Disputes and conflicts all arise from narrow views. They can extend endlessly, wasting precious time and sometimes even leading to war. Attachment to views is the greatest impediment to the spiritual path. Bound to narrow views, one becomes so entangled that it is no longer possible to let the door of truth open…..Thinking that we already possess the truth, we will be unable to open our minds to receive the truth, even if truth comes knocking at our door.” Dighanakha asked, “But what of your own teaching? If someone follows your teaching will he become caught in narrow views?” - ----“My teaching is not a doctrine or a philosophy. It is not the result of discursive thought or mental conjecture like various philosophies which contend that the fundamental essence of the universe is fire, water, earth, wind, or spirit, or that the universe is either finite or infinite, temporal, or eternal. Mental conjecture and discursive thought about truth are like ants crawling around the rim of a bowl-they never get anywhere. My teaching is not a philosophy. It is the result of direct experience. The things I say come from my own experience. You can confirm them all by your own experience. --I teach that all things are impermanent and without a separate self. This I have learned from my own direct experience. You can too. I teach that all things depend on all other things to arise, develop, and pass away. Nothing is created from a single, original source. I have directly experienced this truth, and you can also. My goal is not to explain the universe, but to help guide others to have a direct experience of reality. Words cannot describe reality. Only direct experience enables us to see the true face of reality.” Dighanakha exclaimed, “Wonderful, wonderful, Gautama! But what would happen if a person did perceive your teaching as a dogma?”
--- The Buddha was quiet for a moment and then nodded his head. “Dighanakha, that is a very good question. My teaching is not a dogma or a doctrine, but no doubt some people will take it as such. I must state clearly that my teaching is a method to experience reality and not reality itself, just as a finger pointing at the moon is not the moon itself. An intelligent person makes use of the finger to see the moon. A person who only looks at the finger and mistakes it for the moon will never see the real moon. My teaching is a means of practice, not something to hold onto or worship. My teaching is like a raft used to cross the river. Only a fool would carry the raft around after he had already reached the other shore, the shore of liberation.

Great story :) Thank you.
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
This Theory of Dependant Origination has taught me to preface (my) talking with, "From (my) Perception of (my) experience".. which is only a humble Relative Truth, not the whole Absolute Truth..ah, but in an earlier Era, perhaps words would've been superfluous..anyone for a Silent Retreat? Looking or practitioners in the SW CO area.
awesome video dr berzin
Thank you for your incredable work!

Very clear explaination of Buddhism. Though it's a pretty issue, but still just to correct the information, Buddha was born in Nepal not India. 🙏🙏🙏
The Buddha was/is/can also be Born on a Lotus Flower within all Human HeartMinds🙏💜💚🧡❤
